# Generate COD to Prepaid Link on Razorpay

Action Node · COD to Prepaid Conversion

### What It Does

This node generates a Razorpay payment link that converts an existing Cash on Delivery (COD) Shopify order into a prepaid order.

The generated payment link can be shared with customers through WhatsApp, allowing them to complete payment online using UPI or other supported payment methods.

This node is commonly used to reduce COD-related risks, improve prepaid conversion rates, and encourage advance payment through discounts or shipping benefits.

***

### Example

A customer places a COD order worth ₹3,499.

The workflow sends a prepaid conversion offer:

> “Complete payment online now and get ₹300 OFF plus free shipping on your order.”

The workflow generates a Razorpay payment link and shares it with the customer through WhatsApp.

Once payment is completed:

* The order converts to prepaid
* COD risk is eliminated
* Fulfillment proceeds normally

***

1. You want to reduce COD-related risks

* Payment success tracking
* CRM segmentation
* Fulfillment automation

 Trigger payment links soon after order placement for maximum effectiveness.

8. Commonly used in COD recovery and prepaid conversion campaigns
